V. AISC 360-16 W Flexural Check LRFD
Verify the flexural yielding strength and lateral torsional buckling of an I section using the LRFD method per AISC 360-16.

Details
Verify the flexural yielding strength and lateral torsional buckling of an I section (W12X90) gr. ASTM A992 material, with a member length of 41'-8", and a concentrated moment of 35,000 in-kip applied at midspan. The member is unbraced along its length.
Validation
Flexural yielding about X axis
As the section is compact, nominal flexural yielding strength
about X axis is:
Mx = ϕc×Mnx = 0.9(20,215
in·kip) = 18,193.5 in·kip
Flexural yielding about Y axis
As this is the minor axis, nominal flexural yielding strength
about Y axis is:
My = ϕc×Mny = 0.9(9,295
in·kip) = 8,365.5 in·kip
Lateral torsional buckling about X axis
limiting laterally unbraced length for the yielding limit
state:
For an I section, C = 1 (per F2-28a in ref. 1). The limiting
unbraced length for the inelastic lateral-torsional buckling limit state is:
(F1-1, ref.
1)
h0 = d - tf = 12.66 in
Lp < Lb = 500 in <
Lr
Mp = fy × Zxx = 65 ksi ×
311 in3 = 20,215 in·kip
Nominal LTB strength:
Mn = 20,611.4 in·kip > Mp
ϕcMnx = 0.9(20,215 in·kip) =
18,193.5 in·kip
Results
Parameter | Hand Calculation | STAAD.Pro | Difference | Comments |

***NOTE : AISC 360-16 Design Statement for STAAD.Pro.
*** AXIS CONVENTION ***:
========================
The capacity results and intermediate results in the report follow the notations
and axes labels as defined in the AISC 360-16 code.
The analysis results are reported in STAAD.Pro axis convention and the AISC 360:16
design results are reported in AISC 360-16 code axis convention.
AISC Spec. STAAD.Pro Description
------------ ----------- -------------
X Z Axis typically parallel to the sections principal major axis.
Y Y Axis typically parallel to the sections principal minor axis.
Z X Longitudinal axis perpendicular to the cross section.
SECTION FORCES AXIS MAPPING: -
AISC Spec. STAAD.Pro Description
------------ ----------- -------------
Pz FX Axial force.
Vy FY Shear force along minor axis.
Vx FZ Shear force along major axis.
Tz MX Torsional moment.
My MY Bending moment about minor axis.
Mx MZ Bending moment about major axis.
*** DESIGN MESSAGES ***:
=======================
1. Section classification reported is for the cross section and loadcase that
produced the worst case design ratio for flexure/compression Capacity results.
2. Results for any Capacity/Check that is not relevant for a section/loadcase
based on the code clause in AISC 360-16 will not be shown in the report.
3. Bending results are reported as being "about" the relevant axis (X/Y), while
the results for shear are reported as being for shear forces "along" the axis.
E.g : Mx indicates bending about the X axis, while Vx indicates shear along
the X axis.
